For decades Chino García was there for every fight on the Lower East Side: for tenants, for artists, for Puerto Rican families fighting displacement. I was proud to stand with him. He believed the LES could build its own future, and he proved it. RIP.

180K Puerto Rican households are going days at a time without running water, during the hottest months on record. This crisis is the result of years of federal neglect & mismanagement. @RepAOC & I are demanding the nearly $30B in disaster aid sitting in limbo be released now.

My heart is with the people of Colombia after yesterday's earthquake, and with the Colombian New Yorkers in Queens and across our city who are living through this from afar To anyone in NY-07 with family in the affected areas, my office is here for you.

The Trump admin is about to destroy the lives of 350K people, including Haitian NYers who did everything this country asked of them. They are being pushed toward a country the US admits is too dangerous to visit. The House passed an extension months ago. The Senate must act.
